As a therapist, I draw from developmental and somatic psychology, neurobiology, EMDR and Gestalt to create an effective form of therapy for each individual client. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado and have been in private practice since 2008. In addition to my private practice, I work part-time at Senior Support Services in Denver.
I have a Masters Degree from Naropa University’s Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Program, Wilderness Therapy track, and spent many years both as a counselor and a therapeutic riding instructor bringing horses and humans together in powerful and beneficial ways. These days, I still draw from the healing power of nature, but I see most of my clients in my office, with Zoom, or in the park! My dog Mabel likes to join in the process when invited!
At the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center, a Premier accredited center where I worked for over five years, I mentored others in the field of therapeutic horsemanship. I also launched and directed the extremely popular CTRC All Abilities Summer Camp where we served over 100 children with and without disabilities each season. I have been in private practice since 2008.
To this day, I appreciate the restorative power of nature, which can be calming, challenging, entertaining and invigorating all at the same time. For myself, as for many of my clients, an active relationship with nature is a key to feeling healthy, balanced, and connected to something greater.
Some additional therapeutic training: Pat Ogden's Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Levels 1 and 2, EMDR Level 1, Play Therapy Institute of Colorado Intensive Training, Stan Tatkin's Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy, and Annie Brook's 2-year Applied Neuroplasticity training.
I am excited to enter into a creative partnership with you to find the life you are meant to lead!
